Upon going to the Website we see that the academy's employees are listed: two white women "instructors." OK. But wait, there's more -- more staff. More "staff" in terms of horses. Nine "equine staff" are listed, and even 6 "Horses no longer with us but not forgotten." No other staff is mentioned.

Wow, those two women must spend all their time mucking out stalls. Or maybe those horses are potty trained? Because certainly, if there were other staff people, say of the Hispanic or darker persuasion, doing any real work, certainly they would be listed as staff since, you know, they're listing animals as staff. Wouldn't they?

Wouldn't a candidate even vaguely in touch with the American people see how elitist this 'free, open to the public' event -- at a snooty riding academy -- appears?
